Halloween Display Featuring Hanging Michael Vick Dummy Stirs Controversy.
MADISON, TN -- A halloween display is stirring racial tension in Tennessee. Three corpses are hanging from a tree in front of Richard Hardaway's Madison home -- one of them wearing a Michael Vick jersey.
Hardaway says this isn't the first time he put the stuffed shirts in his front yard. However, this year with the Jena Six case underway, some residents are seeing the display as racist.
"

Hardaway denies that there are any racial undertones to the display.
"I'm not being racist or calling Michael Vick out. It's a Falcon's jersey and I'm a Titans fan. I'm just putting it to good use," Hardaway said.
